“Large comfortable rooms, next to convention and exhibition centre ”

We arrived by private bus from Shanghai Pudong airport after a 3hr ride. We wheeled our luggage into the hotel and checked in. The reception was busy and over worked. The staff did not speak much English. The passport scanning process also took awhile as there was only 1 machine. We were pointed in the right direction and made a beeline for our rooms. Room Our room was in a corner of the hotel, well away from the hustle and bustle of the other guests. Rooms are large in size and very generous. A marble floor entry way welcomes you and this leads to a thick carpeted floor in the bedroom area. We had two super single beds, with individual side tables. The beds were comfortable and afforded a good night’s rest. There a electrical points on each side of the bed. Room lights can be controlled from both sides. Air con control was on the wall and this was easy to use. A flat screen TV is built into the wall and a study table is placed closer to the floor to ceiling windows. TV stations are mostly Chinese local stations. There’s also a music video station, HBO and Channel Newsasia. No international news station. WiFi can be received in the room. There’s is a door leading out to the balcony. I found the door wedged open by the lock latch. The wind noise from the outside attracted my attention. You do share a balcony with the next room; separated by a hip height glass panel. Rooms are not exactly sound proof. We could hear kids /families coming back and making a ton of noise in the corridor. While there is supposedly no smoking in the room, one can smoke in the corridor. We saw well-used ash trays, and in the middle of the night, cigarette smoke seeped into our room. The toilet is large with a bath tub against the glass window overlooking the room. An electric blind can be lowered for privacy. A single sink with lots of real estate for your personal toiletries takes Centre stage. There are some amenities provided, including shaver, toothbrush, q-tips, cotton buds, shower cap. Soap, shower gel, conditioner, shampoo and moisturizer are also provided. The shower is a walk in variety with a rain shower and a hand held shower head. The toilet is tucked in a corner of the bathroom, but not in a room of its own. Long corridors Expect to walk a distance to your room. The hotel is squat and long, thus the corridors are long. If you have health issues related to walking, ask for a room near the lifts. Gym The gym is situated in the basement. It’s well equipped with weights machines, free weights, and various cardio machines. The gym only opens at 7am. There’s also an indoor swimming pool. Food options There are Two restaurants and a bar. The Cafe on ground floor serves pretty decent food. Buffet for breakfast and dinner; with ala carte menu only starting after 8.30pm for dinner. Chinese restaurant on second floor serves pretty good Chinese food. Noodle soup dishes are in generous portions. Food quality is good. The hotel is right next to a convention and exhibition Centre; which was the main reason for choosing this joint. It’s a RMB12 cab ride to Coastal City mall. This a large mall with international and local brands. There’s plenty of food options here,as well as a supermarket. Generally a positive stay and would probably stay here again if we are here again.

“Nice hotel in convenient location”

This nice hotel is connected to the Exhibition Center, and is quite large, with some rooms a hike away from the elevators. Rooms are spacious and well equipped. I enjoyed the whimsical bird nests on the directional signs.

“Nice hotel”

It took a little bit more two hours by taxi from Shanghai/Pudong airport to the hotel. When I arrived, it was after 9 pm.

It took a little bit more two hours by taxi from Shanghai/Pudong airport to the hotel. When I arrived, it was after 9 pm. I rushed into the restaurant inside of the hotel just after check-in as there are no restaurants or convenience store nearby. The restaurant was about to close but they welcomed us. The room I stayed was very large with a good view. There is bath tub which I did not use, and there is shower booth. Wi-Fi is little difficult to connect and is quite slow. I had to walk long way from the elevator to my room on thick carpet. You need to hassle if you have heavy luggage with casters.

“Nice hotel but far away”

We hosted a conference here and the hotel was very nice and spacious. This hotel is only a few stories high but very spacious so the walk to your room is quite far. Also there was no store in the hotel and no stores in walking distance. We walked to the ancient town which was cute but not that grea… lisää

“Good hotel adjacent to Park & Ancient Town”

Good points are, 1) in front of a huge park with lots of plant; 2) walking distance to an ancient town full of traditional Eastern China houses on the tunnel; 3) Service is alright. Points are not very good, 1) next to an exhibition center, so super noisy when there's any exhibition; 2) smoking is… lisää

Good points are, 1) in front of a huge park with lots of plant; 2) walking distance to an ancient town full of traditional Eastern China houses on the tunnel; 3) Service is alright. Points are not very good, 1) next to an exhibition center, so super noisy when there's any exhibition; 2) smoking is not prohibitted in the hotel (don't understand why there're so many people smoke); 3) Hotel location is far from city center, which increases the cost of transportation. Food is very delicious in Chinese restaurant, but not buffet because buffet is not very good and less variety. Could be staying in this hotel again if want to find a quiet place for the holiday.
